St. Augustine Surf Fishing Heat: Reds, Pompano, and Inlet Action This Sunday Morning
Published 1 month ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your St. Augustine fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the salty shores on this fine Sunday mornin', March 29th, 2026, 'round 7:30 AM. Skies lookin' a bit iffy with some rain brewin' per Ventusky forecasts, winds gustin' up to 11.5 m/s from the northeast accordin' to Windy.app, and waves pushin' 1.8 meters at St. Augustine Beach Pier says Surf-Forecast—gonna be challengin' but prime for surf fishin'. Sunrise hit at 7:38 AM per Sunrise-Sunset.org, sunset's 7:32 PM, givin' us near 12 hours of light.
Tides are firin' up nice: NOAA Tides and Currents shows a high around 4.8ft at 6:08 AM this mornin' at nearby Crescent Beach, droppin' to low later, then risin' again. Matanzas Inlet's got high activity per Tides4fishing solunar charts—fish are feedin' heavy right now, especially with that outgoing tide pullin' baitfish outta the inlets.
Recent catches? Locals been haulin' in redfish, trout, and black drum by the bucketful near the beaches and piers, with some slot reds hittin' 25-30 inches. Sheepshead and flounder stackin' up on structure, and reports from Surfline spots show whoppin' numbers of pompano surfin' the troughs last couple days. Action's hot offshore too—mahi and kings if you brave the swells.
Best lures today: **Gold spoons** or **jiggin' bucktails** for pompano and trout in the surf—mimic that shrimp flush. **DOA shrimp** or **Gulp! soft plastics** on a jighead for reds in the flats. Live bait? **Fresh shrimp** or **fiddler crabs** on a knocker rig can't be beat for sheepshead 'round pilings. Fish the incoming tide for top action.
Hot spots: Hit the **St. Augustine Beach Pier** for surf action—crowded but consistent. Or slide into **Matanzas Inlet** for reds and trout hidin' in the rocks—launch early and beat the wind.
Y'all stay safe out there, check your lines, and respect the limits. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more St. Aug reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
